Afrobeats singer, Spyro, has said proclaiming Jesus Christ publicly could adversely affect the career of an artiste
in the Nigerian music industry.
The ‘Who Is Your Guy’s crooner made this known recently during a chat with Echo Room.
Spyro during the interview shared a personal experience that popular R&B star-turned-pastor, Banky W told him.
According to him, the singer and record label owner’s problem in the music industry started after he publicly proclaimed “Jesus Christ”.
He further added that being a “Jesus boy” has led people to deny him goodwill and support in the music industry.

Speaking on the show, Spyro said, “My biggest challenge in the music industry right now is discrimination. I came out with the ‘Jesus boy’ brand and I’ve received the biggest criticisms.
“If you want to be truthful to yourself, how many media moguls support or post me when I drop songs? You see them posting other artists but outside from the blogs that I paid to post me, how many media moguls post me?
“Do you see these guys post me? Sometimes, I ask myself why because people who are not doing as well as I am, they post them. The answer is simple; once you come out and declare Christ publicly, you enter a war.
“It’s like the whole system is designed to pull you down. Banky W told me that his problem started in the industry the moment he proclaimed Christ.
“He told me to be sure that I am ready for this. He said when he was a ‘bad boy’, everything was going well but immediately he decided to do it in godly way, war started.”
